Great post. You would probably enjoy the following post too because your swastika image ties into the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry, who showed how the swastika was used to represent crossed “S” letters for “socialism” under the Union of Soviet Socialist Repubics and under the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://pledge-of-allegiance.blogspot.com/2014/03/swastika-of-soviet-socialism-russia-led.html
The swastika was also used on early paper money used under the USSR. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html
